 * I really appreciate your plugin.
    It would be useful for my website purpose to
   have the possibility to add new links when adding a new post or custom post type.
   in this way creating one entry [e.g. the post] I could have a list of links in
   the published post and increase the link library. Is there a way to do that?
 * Thanks a lot
 * ps my website is a PhD web site for public puposes

 * If I understand correctly, you would want the content of new posts or pages to
   be parsed to be able to automatically add links to the library?
 * This is not possible at this time with Link Library.
 * I am really not sure how I could go about this and it seems seems like a niche
   request. Have you seen any other link management do something like this?

 * Yannick, this is a superb plugin – Well done!
    I have spent a day trying to get
   to grips with it all and am still learning! Yes, this is a feature that I was
   thinking about also. The advantage would be say, a apage or a post is placed 
   in a specific category, then all (or some) of the links relating to that same
   category could be automatically added to the header or footer of that page or
   post. It saves an awful lot of work. Yannick, I am continuing to look at this
   plugin but I do expect to make a small financial donation! Thank you! Cheers

 * Thanks for chiming in on this. I will add more weight to this request for future
   version, although my current focus is transition to WordPress custom post types.
